Synopsis

[Lazy, aloof, commanding top × Sweet, flirtatious on the surface, secretly a gloomy yandere ghost bottom]

[One-on-one, both each other's first love, happy ending + main couple rekindles an old romance + side couples + slow-burn ensemble cast]

Chu Yuzhuo has a beautiful, fair-skinned ex who takes the initiative to invite him onto a popular dating show livestreamed across the internet.

Facing the online backlash, he answers coolly under the camera during an interview with the production team: “We broke up because I have a weak stomach.”

Netizens: Wait, what?

You're devastatingly handsome, but you're saying you can't perform?

The internet's spectators flood into the livestream, vowing not to say one good thing about a man with a weak stomach!

Until...

Chu Yuzhuo goes to an art exhibition with Guest A and runs into his stunning ex, dressed to the nines. They leave one after the other, and Chu Yuzhuo comes back alone with swollen lips.

Netizens: What could possibly be so exclusive that even VIPs can't see it?

Just as everyone is busy researching which Chinese herbs are good for a weak stomach,

a passerby photographs his ex stumbling out of his car, eyes unfocused, tearful red-rimmed eyes, a delicate lace ribbon tied around his neck.

Netizens: ?

His ex posts gently: Sorry, I asked to get back together and was rejected.

Then his ex's secret account gets exposed, and it's full of passionate posts about Chu Yuzhuo.

[Husband, if they look at you one more time, I'm going to lose my mind]

[Can you smile only for me?]

[Guest A is a libertine, Guest B is an idiot, Guest C is a poser, and Guest D is a fake. We're the only ones meant for each other]

“Love is a chronic illness that leaves me in pain. I give you my loneliness, my honest heart, and my soul. I only beg you not to leave me in an abyss without you.”

I'm still looking forward to the main couple, but seeing Shen and Xie together is a bit suffocating. I support their complete breakup and reject the "chasing after her" scenario or Shen successfully winning her over. It feels like Shen was a woman who was trained from childhood and successfully manipulated, sold into a remote mountain village (a very inappropriate analogy, but it just evokes a…

It's so good! Our "Stomach-Nourishing Bro" and Weiwei are going head-to-head, it's so sweet! Weiwei is secretly dark and twisted, practically clinging to "Stomach-Nourishing Bro" and never wanting to leave, but on the surface he's such a cheerful guy, hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Their interactions are so sweet, I love it! 😍 I genuinely dislike Luo.

It's good, but I feel like there's too much screen time for the side couple. Can you please focus more on the main couple? 🤦🤦🤦

It's so good! Every couple has such a strong emotional tension. The main couple is super sweet. As the story progressed, I felt Luo's screen time increased. I felt uncomfortable ever since Luo started comparing herself to her ex in the male lead, and her sarcastic remarks towards him were annoying.

This book is definitely an educational one. The protagonist (gong) initially doesn't understand or accept the other's transformation, but he can't control his feelings for the other, so he chooses to temporarily break up to address their problems. The other's low self-esteem and the protagonist's lack of understanding and expression lead to the ending.

It's pretty good so far. I'm someone who doesn't usually follow serialized content, but I follow it every day. There are many types to ship, although the pacing might be a bit slow at the beginning. I don't like the e-sports couple, and the Xie-Shen couple has a hidden story, but they're actually quite good to ship. Second review: After finishing the serialization, I felt betrayed.

I think all the characters are very well-developed. The only thing that makes me sad is that many of the main couples were broken up. Compared to the main couple, I prefer the side couples. Seeing some of them break up really made me feel sad, and I lost the desire to continue reading.🥺🥺 But this book really writes each character's personality incredibly well and makes them very rich!

It's so good! Chu Yuzhuo and Xu Wei's characters are so compelling! I really love Chu Yuzhuo's amazing mental state. I just wish old man Xu Wei would leave the show soon; seeing him makes me a little sad. And Xie Zhi Qiao, I hope she realizes her feelings for our beloved Shen Yan soon! Hope the young couple gets better soon!

It's so good! I'm suddenly a little regretful for discovering it so early 😄. Every couple is so adorable. Xie's treatment of Shen might be due to his upbringing, making him unsure how to treat others? 🤔 Getting back together is possible, but the long-haired beauty is so pitiful. Xie still has some BL tendencies. Anyway, I'll read whatever the author writes 💕💕💕. Couples, please resolve your issues soon!

It's not finished yet, so let me give my comments first. The main couple is super, super sweet, and each character has a very distinct personality. But, there's a transfer element involved, so please don't make the mistake I did and randomly ship any couples! Originally, I only wanted to ship the main couple, so I didn't care whether the other ex-couples got back together or not.
